Me, too!  I hardly ever use the filters and you can see the magenta 
in the blacks here: http://www.pbase.com/image/88918927
compared to the blacks by the Canon 5D here:

But if the black fabric is not crucial to the photo, I don't bother 
with the filters.  I'm planning to convert these to B&W anyway and 
the M8 files convert so much better than the Canon's.
